"And fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them." Revelation 20:9 God pours out His fiery heart toward the unrepentant and they are consumed by it. The fire proceeds from Him as the last embrace after millions of rejections. His unrequited love is still ardent, but they have no love for Him. They do not know His presence and His presence is what would make it possible to walk in the midst of that fire water.
"And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory...stand on the sea of glass..." Revelation 15:2 This sea is mingled with fire. Because of the reflection, the entire body of water must look like fire. A sea of fire! But there stand His beloved children doing things that are impossible, standing on water and walking in fire. "When thou passest through the waters I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: When thou walkest through the fire thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior." Isaiah 43:2, 3
Eventually we are all surrounded by God's fiery love. If we stand there alone, it is consuming. If we stand there with Him it is all consuming. Dear friends choose love, "And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love: and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him." 1 John 4:16
